Calvin College recruited a black professor, in an effort to encourage diversity on campus.
As a condition of employment, they made her agree to become a member of a Christian Reformed Church. You know, to be welcoming. Worship like us, or you're fired.
And that's what happened. As an African-American, she didn't feel comfortable in a Christian Reformed Church.
(I could have predicted that).
So, they are thinking about firing her.
However, this quote makes me wonder how familiar this professor was with the Christian Reformed Church and Grand Rapids:
"I wish there was a (Christian Reformed) congregation in Grand Rapids that was fully multicultural or even that there was one that was largely African-American," Beversluis said.
